quickbooks desktop for mac: conversion to subscription-only

Hi there, @got_taxes.

Allow me to provide some information regarding the changes in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac prices.

Our price increases are in line with the industry standards, and we must invest in our product features and functionalities. This way, we can meet the accounting needs of our clients.

The new price for the annual subscription has a lot of features compared to the previous years. You can check out this article for more details: Feature List by Version Year.

You might also want to read our user guide for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. This gives you more information about the product.

Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Thanks for dropping by, @got_taxes.

Example of Quickbooks competition:

• AccountEdge Desktop for Windows: $150 (one-time fee)

• AccountEdge Desktop for Mac: $15 / month (subscription).

I have contacted AccountEdge and asked them to offer a one-time fee version of their Mac desktop software.

Of course, I always have the option of running AccountEdge Desktop for Windows in Parallels on my Mac.

In short, we users have options other than QB. I've been satisfied with Quickbooks Desktop for Mac over the years and it's a shame that Intuit has decided to ruin it.

Account Edge's desktop product will not work on Catalina or Big Sur (or, I'm pretty certain, Monterey).  They were unable to upgrade it past Mojave. They may have a web version which works - I don't know.

QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2022 is available for $199 from Amazon.  It is a subscription now so that's yearly. But it does have many new features added every year (Help->What's New in QuickBooks? menu shows them).  There are videos of them in the QuickBooks Mac channel on YouTube as well.
